Once upon a time there was a sly fox.
When she appeared, all animals from the forest fled,
Knowing how cruel and insatiable she was,
At last it happened so that there was nothing to eat.
Hungry, the fox reached a wine yard.
She passed the vine from which the big
ripe bunches of grapes, which seemed to be sweet and juicy hung.
"Grapes? With the famine which I have, that's better than nothing..."
- the fox said.
So she got up on her hind legs and jumped
with agility in order to grab a bit 'of grapes,
but could not reach it.
Then she walked away to take a run and tried again,
with all her best!
She tried once again, stubbornly but without success:
the grapes seemed to be increasingly far off.
"Cra! Cra! Cra!" - laughed a crow from a branch, making fun of her
"These grapes are too unripe!
That's not so important whether you'll pick it off...
I'll be back, when it's mature enough"
The fox said aloud, inflating the chest to compose herself,
despite on the disappointment because of the suffering with an empty belly.
